| comment | 'the tail of the forest spirit' Vologda region, Nyuksensky District. Informant's comment: "Леший хотел луну своровать, да ему не дали, руки поотрывали, один хвост остался с задом. Его на всё небо лучше и ярче всего видно, гли-ко [смотри-ка], страм какой" 'Forest spirit wanted to steal the moon, but they didn't let him, they tore his hands off, only his tail remained with his butt. He is the best and brightest in the whole sky, look at this disgrace' |
